“Sentinel Selection”
Private Collection, Oil on canvas
16" x 20"

Canada geese have a set pattern that they always seem to follow when the flock has settled down after a flight to feed. There will be one who stands guard while the rest feed. Just how this process is accomplished has always intrigued me. Here, I speculate that the two birds in the background are the committee that has the duty to choose this feeding’s “sentinel”.
